In the Edo period, it was called Imari ware or Hizen ware. At the end of the 16th century, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered troops to be sent to Korea, the Nabeshima clan, who was dispatched, brought back a Korean potter: Kane Sanbei (so-called Lee Sampei) and others. Later, Kanagae Sanbei moved to Arita in the early 17th century and is believed to have discovered pottery stones that are the raw material for porcelain in Izumiyama. As the first production area in Japan where porcelain was fired, it has continued to make things mainly for tableware and arts and crafts for the next 400 years.
